After a brief recess the House Judiciary Committee reconvened for executive action and addressed a series of bills.
The committee considered House Bill 7-98 (a constitutional amendment to repeal Article 13, Section 7) and a motion to table the item passed by roll call: the clerk announced 12 yes, 8 no, and the motion to table carried.
Several Senate bills were then considered and moved out of committee by concurrence or formal motion. Notable recorded results read into the record included:
- Senate Bill 14 (Legislative Audit Division audit of the Office of Disciplinary Counsel): concurred in by roll call, tally announced as 12 yes, 8 no.
- Senate Bill 15 (additional grounds for impeachment): concurred in by roll call, tally 12 yes, 8 no.

- Senate Bill 149 (documentation of emotional support animals): the committee adopted Amendment 2.1 (which clarified that required documentation does not compel landlords to admit animals that would otherwise be barred under federal, state, or local law), and then the amended bill was passed by roll call, tally announced as 12 yes, 8 no.
- Senate Bill 162 (revisions related to the Criminal Justice Oversight Council): concurred in by roll call, tally announced as 20 yes, 0 no.
- Senate Bill 288 (evidentiary seizure guidelines for officer-involved shootings): passed via voice vote; proxies and affirmative votes for the record were noted.
The committee recorded which members will carry each measure (for example, Representative Mallette was named as carrier for several Senate bills). With the recorded votes concluded, Chair Regier adjourned the committee.
What’s next: The bills moved out of committee will proceed to the next steps in the legislative process with carriers assigned as noted in the record.
